AIVP Webinar – Towards the Lisbon declaration: addressing global challenges in Port cities

Port Cities are at the forefront of global pressing issues, such as the rising sea levels, the decarbonization of maritime transport and urban areas, and the protection of the oceans. The UN Ocean Conference, which will take place in 2025 in Nice, or the yearly COPs from the UNFCCC are key moments to accelerate policies and foster cooperation. Port City actors are expanding their roles to answer these challenges. How are they promoting innovative solutions in the port city territories? And what are their expectations for these global events led by the UN? What are the demands?

Port of Saguenay completes the AIVP self-assessment tool

To help its members achieve the ten goals identified by its 2030 Agenda, AIVP launched a dedicated self-assessment tool in November 2023. The self-assessment tool should be carried out annually to enable the ports and cities of the AIVP network to monitor their progress towards the 2030 Agenda goals. The Port of Saguenay (Canada) is the first member to have completed the seaport self-assessment, as part of its policy looking at the different ways in which it can contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. In this interview, we discuss how the self-assessment helped the Port pursue that policy. Interview with Simon Tremblay, Environment & Sustainable Development Lead, and Francois St-Gelais, Community Relations & Communications Lead.
